28 Gorgeous Green Living Rooms to Recreate

Designed by Phoebe Howard, this living room corner nook delivers the perfect level of coastal coziness, thanks to the layers of colors, patterns, and materials.

A deep, dark shade of green asserts a royal foundation for this traditional living room designed by Garrow Kedigan. He opted for Benjamin Moore's Caribbean Teal.

Mirroring your walls to bounce light is a tall task, but what about hanging a few wall-spanning mirrors and then customizing the frames with one paint color to make them cohesive? The green monochrome layering in this small living room designed by Benjamin Dhong is has us wanting to go all in on the hue.

A built-in bookcase, a comfy chair, and good lighting officially designate this whimsical corner as the perfect reading nook. Designed by Andrew Flesher, bold green fabric gives new life to the vintage chair, butterfly print wallpaper adds a sprinkle of magic, and crisp white paint modernizes the farmhouse bones without fighting them.

A deep dusty rose pairs nicely with forest green, as exemplified here. The amber glass sconce, brass and glass cocktail table, and oat Roman shades all play off of that warmth and accentuate it even further for a cozy environment.

This fresh color makes an impressive farmhouse even more compelling. In this living room by Thomas Jayne and William Cullum, where the paint stretches all the way up to the high rafters, the hue changes depending on the way the light hits it, shifting between sharp mint green and soft seafoam green.

Heidi Caillier made this built-in bookcase pop by painting it a clean mint that contrasts with the warmth of the cream walls. The antique and used books, along with the exposed wood beam, make this living room feel lived-in and homey.

If you're not big into using bright colors in your home, maintain the neutral color scheme and then incorporate a natural pop of green with a wall gallery of house plants. Take note from this space designed by Shapeless Studio and install wall-to-wall floating shelves for a linear, clean display.

This living room designed by Melanie Turner makes a strong case for monochromatic decorating. If you love green, why not go all out and cover the walls as well as your seating in it? Even better if they're the same tone—this way, you'll really feel like you're standing in a world of green. Turner used Calke Green by Farrow & Ball here.

Zesty lime green bolsters, printed throw pillows, and a softer sage upholstered cushion for the built-in bench make this nook both cozy and bright. This David Mann–designed living room proves that there's serious payoff in giving some T.L.C. to every nook and cranny.

It was a challenge marrying the two styles of his clients, designer Corey Damen Jenkins explains. “The wife loved jewel tones and embellishment, while the husband was on the total opposite end of the spectrum—no color, no wallpaper," Jenkins tells us. So the living room walls were painted in Garlic Clove by PPG, "which has enough warmth to counterbalance the bright white of the often snowy landscape," while a fun velvet sofa gives a splash of vibrant green personality.

"To reduce that long tunnel effect, you have to dematerialize the walls," says designer Maureen Footer of hallways and narrow spaces. If your living room is longer than it is wide, this is the idea to try. She suggests lacquering them to reflect light and get that shimmery glow. These high-gloss green walls in a hallway designed by Christina Murphy are such a fun surprise.

Though tons of fun accent colors make this living room designed by Shazalynn Winfrey pop, it's the green palette that really makes the space shine.

Designer Jae Joo opted for a soft palette in this 1885 Boston living room. The light pink armchair adds youthful buoyancy to the dark wood pieces while also bringing out warmer tones in the versatile neutral backdrop. In some lighting, it appears light gray-green and in others, a more beige hue, perfectly reflecting the wallpaper on the opposite wall.

Match your paint color to your wallpaper for a cohesive look that still brings in some textural intrigue. In this green living room by Gideon Mendelson, the artwork brightens up the entire space and speaks to the rest of the colors, finishes, and materials throughout. He used Farrow & Ball's Olive paint.

This NYC apartment feels more like a tropical oasis than a city home. That's thanks to the energizing colors and materials interior designer Aldous Bertram incorporated, particularly the lime green stripes on the ceiling and faux molding on the walls.

For the living room of a traditional New York apartment, designer Todd Klein chose a light, cool green. "If you think of a house as having seasons, the living room is spring," Klein says. Graphic black-and-white fabrics from China Seas—Macoco Reverse on the sofa and Potalla Background on the pillow—"add a touch of youthfulness and whimsy," Klein says. Walls are Vreeland Mint and trim is White, both in Brilliant, by Fine Paints of Europe.

The plush beige carpet and sepia-toned artwork ground the modern silver stool and rich velvet pillows for a balanced look in this living room by Tom Scheerer. The large fig tree in the corner adds a casual touch.
